Video of the Day
Using a white marker, draw a jar or vase onto the wrapped box.
Make two small parallel slits at the top of drawing and then insert a piece of greenery, flower, or desired foliage.
Tie cotton, jute, or string around the box a couple of times, and then secure with a small bow at the front of the greenery in order to cover the slits.
Gift Wrap Idea #2: Snowy Pine Cone Embellishment
First wrap your gift in brown kraft paper.
Using white acrylic paint, paint the top of the pine cone and allow to dry.
Attach the pine cone by wrapping some string around the box several times. Insert a couple pieces of greenery under the string if desired.
Using a white marker, place several small dots on the paper in an organic manner so it resembles snow.
Gift Wrap Idea #3: Hand-Painted Christmas Trees Embellishment
For this idea, you'll first paint onto a flat piece of kraft paper, and then you'll wrap your present after everything is dry.
On a piece of white kraft paper, paint a simple vertical line, approximately two inches long.
Paint several horizontal lines starting at the top of the vertical line, gradually making them bigger towards the bottom.
Paint the trees in staggered groups of three
Continue to paint the trees until you've covered the entire paper.
Wrap the gift, and then add a ribbon and a piece of greenery for more interest.
